The Bid Picture with Bidemi Ologunde

Bidemi Ologunde, PhD, CICA

Check out host Bidemi Ologunde's new show: The Work Ethic Podcast, available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

In this episode of host Bidemi Ologunde's latest podcast, The Work Ethic Podcast, he explores how to protect deep work in a notification world, without falling into hustle culture. Why does it feel like you can't stay focused for more than a few minutes? What are notifications really costing you in quality, confidence, and calm? And what simple systems can you build to create sustainable excellence—whether you're an ambitious professional, a founder/creator, a student launching your career, or a leader managing others?

You'll hear practical strategies for reclaiming your attention (without disappearing from your team), plus real-life stories of people who reduced digital noise and unlocked better output with less stress.

Weekly Challenge: For the next 7 days, schedule one daily deep-work session (start with 30 minutes), turn off all notifications, and focus on a single important task. Track what changes—your output, your mood, and your ability to re-focus.
